Well it was my first day at Subway, and boy did I ever feel lost. I mean I have never worked in the food industry before. Nothin' even remotly close to it,a nd here I am, with no experience in this field goin'...wha.....? God I hate first days, I really do!! But atleast I got the job. But tommorow I got to do this crap again, the first day crap that is. Tommorow is my first day at Reitmens. Which I will probably feel more relaxed in since I'm so used to the reatil biz.
Anyways here's the funny part of the day, I go to the mall for my break, it is like a 5 second walk, but anyways I go in there and I get this guy who is askin' for directions and I go ummmm...I have no idea where that is, oh hi I'm new to town, my name is greg, what is yours? So I say in my most shyest lowest voice not really wanting him to hear me, I say Elsie, why I said my name I don't know, someone hit me with a stick please! Then we shock hands....Anyways this guy was totaly hittin' on me, and of course I wasn't interested. I mean this guy was askin' if he can come pick me up after I close and I'm like...uhhh....no. So I go, well I got to get back to wrok, and he's beggin' me to stay, and I'm like noo I can't, I'll be late. Which actually I just got on my break but this guy was pissin' me off, so I leave as he's callin' me to wait, but do I hesitate to even look back? Damn right I don't. I'm so shy, shy enough to say dumb things, that and my accursed mouth is to polite. But anyways I handled it well, never saw him again today. Now that I look back at it, it is kinda funny!! Ya know I hate bein' hit on, I get it all the time and I ususally handle it better...I guess I was just out of my "don't piss me off with hittin' on me" kinda mood, but me thinks I should get that kinda dditude back.
And ya all know what else is cool? Wel ya know that Deviant account I got, well I can sell my art over that, ya that's what ya heard, sell my art!! Got to get me some copies of my work and sell it. I mean I got a few fans, I'm quiet sure a few people on NR would buy some of my stuff, and of course a lot of people on my own board. I know Lilith and Lichie would buy somethin'. But I still have to get eveythin' oraganized..ya ya ya I know I've been sayin' it for awhile, but now I think COOL!! So I may just yet do it.
Agh I'm so tired, to tired to look for spellin' errors and to damn right lazy, so if ya see any, don't bother educating me in the fine art of english spellin' ok?

OH MY FRICKIN' GOD, I just got me two jobs, I start Subway tommorow like I said at 10, and I start Reitmens on Sunday at One...wowza!! well just thought I let you know that. Oh plus I got me a Deviant account, it should be up top..but eh if it hasen't gotten there yet, here it is for you. It's only got one new thing on it though, just my latest piece, but that's about it. Will put more up eventually.
Mood ~ Very Happy
Music ~ Stone Sour - Bother
With reading my last post, I can say I don't feel that way anymore, since I just got me a job at subway....ya ya ya I know, "Subway, eat fresh" and no I won't be seeing Jarod anytime soon. I just kinda walked in, sat down, said hi, and BANG! I got me a job. I start tommorow at 10 and when I get there I get to pick out a shirt and a hat to wear. Oh yay!!!! that was sarcasim if ya didn't know. It's a job, so I guess I won't complain. Startin' wage is 9.25 a hour, not bad eh. Plus if I do well I will get a raise up to 10 somethin'. Sounds good to me. But now I'm going to have to tell people if the call me up for another job that I just cant take it. I got me a full/part time position at Subway. Full/part time is when ya work six hour days some times, and work 8 hour days at other times. Oh well, money is money. Plus if I get a job at the co-op I can always work two jobs.
The co-op money would be good, considerin' they pay ya 14 bucks to stock shelves. I think I mentioned that eailer. Anyways Sheldon, my sisters great and wonderful boyfriend said he'd talk to someone there. Although it's ok, I don't mind gettin' $9.25 a hour. Back home, ya have to work forever and a day to get a raise like that, and here it is startin' wage.
I hope Angie doesn't read this, about the comment I made about Sheldon.....Well to bad, sis, you have a great guy, and I like him, and well everyone likes him. I'm so happy she met this guy. She deserves this ya know. If only ya could see how happy she is. She hasn't been this happy in a long while and I'm just happy for her.
So to bad if she was readin' this =P She keeps sayin' I'm teasin' her, well I am a bit, but only becasue I'm gald to see her this way.
Anyways god I can't wait for my first paycheck. First thing I'm gonna do is hand Ang a nice crispy hundred dollar bill. That's for my food supply while I'm here....I mean a hundred bucks a paycheck is dirt cheap, but my dear sister understands my tryin' to get to art school. Then Most of it will go into a savings account, then some for me for entertainment, and such, plus I have to buy me a scanner. I'm totaly going mad without my old one. Well actually it wasn't mind. But I was the only one that knew how to use it. God I can't wait to have money and a job again, especially the money. The job is ok, but ya gotta have one of those to get the cursed green stuff. Well multi-colored over in Canada.

Mood ~ Aggrivated
Music ~ White Strips
I seem to get the impresstion that I have been here for more then two weeks, and still I have yet to get a job. But then I look at the fact that I've only been here for eleven days, and I have to be a bit more patient. Well patience my ass, I feel bad about havin' no money, and dependin' on Ang to buy me pop. Ya sure I used to grovel for money off of my mother, but she's my mom, I'm here daughter, I'm supposed to be a real bug and ask for toonies and the such when I'm broke.
But anywho, I do have that Interview tommorow afternoon. Three O'clock, w00t! I hope I get this job. I hate interviews, I'm so incrediably shy, and I try so hard, but sometimes it just shows I'm shy. Although once I get the job, I'm usually just dandy, and quiet chatty to. With the costumers and the staff. I wish I can just go up to them and say, "I'm shy, I'm probably going to screw up this interview because of the fact that I am shy, but really I would be a great addition to your staff."
Ya know we used to have 6 stairs outside in our backyard, but now it appears we only have four. It won't stop snowin'. It just won't let up, and absalutly refuses to not snow so I have to take a smelly old cab to my interview downtown. Although I could walk, it is only five mintues away 0.o
I keep runnin' around this town and seein' obstract things such as icicles that hang from the top part of a balcony, and end at the bottum of the balcony below it. Ya know yer typical apartment buildin' kinda thing. I just so want to plunk a black and white roll of film into my camera and start clickin' at every obscure thing I see. I mean the odd things here and just so common. Yellowknife is such a strange place, and I want to capture it. I guess I just have to look at this little trip as some sort of cultural experence.

Mood ~ Hype
Music ~ Nirvana - Lake of Fire
Where do bad folk go when they die, they don't go to heaven where the angels fly, they go to a lake of fire and fry, won't see them again until the fourth of July
Ok I'll stop singin'....
But don't ya just hate it when yer totaly bored, but absalutly hyper for some unknown reason, and all ya want to do is go out and do somethin', anything, it doesn't matter what, but ya can't. Ya, that's me right now. So instead I take my boredom and hyperness to my blog, and happly and feircely type away. I so want to do somethin', but alas I don't know anyone here, well no one with exceptions to family members, but unfortuanly no one my age. Well there is this one guy named Brendon of all names, and he's my age, and every single friggin' person in this family wants to set me up with him. Hey he's from Vancouver, so actually I wouln't mind meeting him, but as a friend, not as a boyfriend. Yeesh it seems everyone here wants me to settle down with someone they know or somethin'. I want a friend right now, not a boyfriend. Although it's not that bad, I mean I'm yer typical loner, always have been, always will be.
Oh and about the name Brendon, it's just that there is this guy at home named Brendon who has had a overally large crush on me since tenth grade...that was about six years ago.
Did I mention I finally got my PS2 hooked up. Finally I say, it's all plugged up in my room, and the tv I have in there was older, and so did not have the nessacary components, and so I went off and bought me a RF adaptor at Wal-mart. A Wal-mart that sells a very small selection of Video games, but thankfully when certain games like SR3 come about I can order them up. I tell ya if I couldn't get me games, I'd be gone and outta here right now.
Anyways on another note, the house, after everyone not originally of this household left, is damn quiet. I mean we had four extra people livin' with us. I mean from the moment I got my ass up here, I've been plagued with the chatter of three kids, and the constant busyness of three to four other adults in the house, and at last....they are gone, the house has gone back to the norm. Until everyone comes by to visit again. I'm so friggin' glad I got me own room here, or else I would be going mad. This house never stops hoppin', and at times it drives me insane. I like my peace and quiet, and my space. Well peace and quiet and rest to me is with my music cranked, and my sketch book out. But anyways, it's quiet for once.
I want to go to Winks...but it's to late and frankly to dangerous out here, and probably to cold. But man am I havin' a craving for chocolate, or some BBQ chips would be nice to.
